Consideration of ornitho coprophilous effect and ecosystems regarding fiord Hornsund of Spitsbergen. Those ecosystems are poor in flora and fauna and are known from low productivity, because of two major factors, which are temperature and water sources. Western scientists think that in Arctic, ornitho -coprophilous effect decides about productivity of whole terrestrial ecosystems. Authors disagree with that hypothesis showing their own experience. Plants grow under the snow cover no matter of the ornitho -coprophilous effect.
